He is trained for emergency medical assistance to military forces wounded or injured in the field or elsewhere during periods of war or police action (Korea)

Any medic in the army is very versatile, and has a great deal of tasks they must fulfill. First and most importantly we are here to provide immediate emergency care for wounded individuals. We also operate under a doctor or physicians assistant and provide "sick call" treatment.

Medics are also in charge of updating medical records, providing vaccinations and a great deal of other tasks.
